New Jersey Woman's Death in Hippo Attack Sparks Lawsuit Against Safari Tour Operator

A New Jersey man is suing African Portfolio after a hippopotamus killed his wife during a safari in Zambia on June 5, 2024.
The lawsuit claims that while on a bush walk, a hippopotamus attacked Lisa Manders, crushing her with its bite.
Craig Manders, who witnessed the attack, states that they were not informed of the danger posed by hippos, which the tour guides downplayed.
African Portfolio's attorney claims the company is not liable, asserting that it only arranged the lodging and was not responsible for guide conduct.
